Ultimate 2000s: Song Justice (Complete)

[Runawaywithme]

Submitted!

Here's what just missed out:






I'm so excited for this and seeing everyone's picks!

 

[Aester]

My lists for both parts feel weirdly thrown together despite the fact that I spent a lot of time thinking about them, but hey, they're done and that's good enough for me.

 

[Lost In Japan.]

This was so incredibly difficult. Mine also feels quite thrown together but I tried to capture the songs of the 00s that will forever be iconic to me, as opposed to the songs I'm revisiting the most at the moment. It's also VERY singles heavy cause I am gee pee at heart.

Some absolute classics that I had to cut at the last minute:

 

[Zar-Unity]

Hey, working on this right now!

Update:

list submitted! Some of my favorite artists had to miss out but overall
I'm happy with this list!

 

[Phonetics Girl]

Coincidentally, I'm off work today, so I'll spend it entering outstanding ballots and attempting to get the list in order for the reveals. If anybody is working on their ballot and needs me to wait for them a bit, do not hesitate to PM me.

My final 5 cuts:

I have seen her been cut of several times now so I hope someone did find place for her: Aaliyah - Rock The Boat. Rock the Boat is that sultry late night sweat summerjam that also is very light on the ears and she was defining the R&B-genre for me in those early 00's.


More R&B comes in the form of Alicia Keys which also defined my 00's R&B-loving. She is however featured in the albumranking, but with songs I just had so many things to pick from. But if I had to go with my favourite it has to Pray For Forgiveness, which was cut for being more of a 10's song to me as it defined my stay in Malawi. It was however blocked to be entered in the 10's countdown as it was released the 28th of December 2009...


Another woman I surprisingly cut from my list is ADELE with Hometown Glory. Maybe it is the geographer me, but I am easily attached to songs that highlight your local space. It is still her signature song from her for me, because it get's close to home for me.


When push comes to shove it is easier for me te cut men for my top 20 than women. So many final cuts involve men and especially the R&B-genre (Usher however never came close). Mario's Here I Go Again with that rocky edge was also cut soon, likewise with Chingy's One Call Away. However Bobby Valentino's - Tell Me came darn close. I just love that jam and pretended he was talking about a man's ass (he is not). Yes in my teens one of my crushes.


Hardest men to cut however is not necessarily someone I stan hard for, but has written one of the best songs of the 00's - especially for a closeted Sprocky: Daniel Merriweather - Red. A modern protest song that doesn't hold back but uses metaphors for a war that you are fighting within yourself. It just gives me the chills every damn time.

Look at what I ironically forgot to include:

 

[VivaForever]

I can't believe this is how I found out that this

is actually from a Dannii video.

As I said before, it's truly giving Sugababes 4.0.

Yikes! If Alejandro only got 1pt, I fear so will several more of my picks.

 

[soratami]

Poor Dip It Low really deserved better. If that only got a single point, it makes you wonder which classics might be missing entirely.

 

[Phonetics Girl]

So 5 tracks per day is the pace I'm planning to keep the reveals at until we reach, say top 100? Is that fine with y'all?

I'm also updating a Spotify playlist in the 2nd post on the 1st page and I will be making a YouTube one for unavailable entries.

Edit: I can confirm there are several surprising results in store, and many, many classics overlooked but I'm staying hush hush for #suspense

 

[DJHazey]

Not enough people seem to pick Alejandro as their be-all end-all for Gaga, but it's certainly worth the honor.

Electric Storm is also a wonderful choice for Delta as well. Still stands, we need another Delta Goodrem rate!
